MEQUON, Wis. - The Concordia
University Wisconsin men's soccer team has completed three
practices to this point, with a fourth to come Saturday afternoon.
With five returning all-conference performers and a multitude of
freshman competing, the effort over the first two days of practice
has been strong.

CUW is coming off a
12-6-3 record and a 7-2-2 Northern Athletics Conference record. It
was the 17th time in head coach Tom Saleska's career at the helm of
the program that his team earned double-digit victories.

In goal, senior Samuel
Ische (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) returns for his second season as the
full-time starter. Saleska's mantra has always been defense and
with the return of four starters - senior Bryan Samuel (Brookfield,
Wis.), junior Jason Rogers (Glendale, Wis.), junior Jacob Streicher
(West Allis, Wis.), and sophomore Jacob Pope (Muskego, Wis.) - the
Falcons are once again looking to shutdown opponents.

The 2011 season begins
with a non-conference match on Thursday, Sept. 1, as CUW plays host
to St. Norbert College at 5 p.m. The contest is the second part of
a season-opening doubleheader with the women's team who hosts
UW-Whitewater at 3 p.m.
